500watt Psu
Gpu HD3850 Agp

damn its making me crazy i want my new system running

 

[Error 404]

Does the BSoD mention video drivers in the error message? If thats the case its either your 3850 drivers, or something is wrong with your GPU.
Check your graphics card's temps, and make sure its getting enough voltage from your PSU. If its not your graphics card, then if you can try swapping parts with a similar system to find out which part is faulty in yours.

[Morgoth]

some progress
Gpu maxium temp 47c
i dont gett any error report by windows report filles
i try to rise the voltage

 

[Error 404]

Does your BIOS give any information about what voltage your PSU is putting out? Should be under a section called hardware monitor. They should be roughly 12v, 5.5v and 3.3v, or something similar. If its significantly lower than that then you should get a new PSU.

It sounds like a GPU problem as well, so even if you can just put a TNT2 into it and test for stability you'd be able to see if its your 3850.

Here are some nice PSUs I have worked with. I use the Antec in the non-high octane game rigs that I use. If however, if you think you would really need more juice, go with this:

The earthwatts are a damn good PSU, and the only ones I would use from Antec at the moment. At least from my experiance. THe Corsair are a sure bet. Alot of TPU members I know have had this in their rigs.

For your rig, I can't emphasis enough that you do not need these 1000W PSUs. Unless you are running (Water Cooling, with 4 or 5 Hard Drives, and SLI 280s or XFire 4870x2s) all in the same rig, you do not need that much.

Looking at my power usage, I have a 360, 37inch TV, a 22 and 19 inch LCD, a 8800GTX, q6600, 2 Hard drives, and an 8400 GS all plugged into my back up power supply (750w) and I only use 64% with ALL them running.

Just to give you the mental picture.

Hope it helps,
